Bed bugs often end up in the lounge room. Someone sleeps on the sofa after a bad night in the bedroom, a housemate naps there, or a second-hand sofa comes in carrying bugs from its previous home. Once inside a sofa, bugs spread through the cushion seams, the gaps between the arms and seat, and the fabric lining underneath. The crew we book treats sofas and armchairs in Brisbane homes as part of a wider removal plan or as a job on their own.
The crew starts by taking off the cushions and checking each one along the zips, piping and stitching. The cushions are steamed, then the frame is steamed and treated, including the deck under the cushions, the joins at the arms and back, and the underside fabric, which is often opened slightly so the crew can see inside the frame. Recliners and sofa beds have mechanisms with lots of hiding spots, so they take longer. Timber and metal parts get a crevice treatment where steam alone will not reach.
Tell us what the sofa is made of when you call. Fabric, leather and microfibre all respond differently to steam and spray, and the crew will adjust the method. Cushion covers that zip off can go through a hot wash and dryer before the visit, which saves time on the day. Keep using the sofa as normal between visits, since moving it to another room can carry bugs with it.
